Any python hackers out there? It's a little crufty
The tech for the task manager is at https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/issues
It's not new construction. This house is close to 100 years old. It's just never been mapped by the hard-working volunteers of OSM.
Does it designate fallen buildings, and unusable roads? If so how does one access this info. I spent about 10 minutes on hotosm and osm trying to find & interpret Turkey related data and did not succeed. Found the Turkey tasks, but couldn't make heads or tails of what those tasks were, how to view the output of people doing those tasks, or how to contribute.
In this case, Yer Cizenler (yercizenler.org) is coordinating with representatives of local organizations and consultants from IFRC (The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) for the collection of road and building datasets.
The goal of this tasks is to complete missing data on the map, for example adding building and roads like in this case. Data is then available on OpenStreetMap for different uses. Some examples are:
* View the map on openstreetmap.org * View the map on OsmAnd or other similar software * Download spatial data using Overpass or HOT's Export Tool (https://export.hotosm.org) * etc, etc
The output of people doing those tasks can be seen querying the changes on the map. There's a tool that is currently unmaintained but you can use it to get some additional stats about the contributions:

If you put a date range like "6 February, 2023 12:00 AM" to "6 February, 2023 11:45 PM" and a Tasking Manager project's id (example: 14218) you'll see something like:
Total Unique Contributors: 507
Features Created:
- building: 48962 - source: 34317 - highway: 7770 - highway_km: 924 - surface: 508 - name: 474
Microsoft is known to water down open source, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis... was a phrase by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team is more like a sister project to OpenStreetMap. Very open, shared technology, many volunteers work on both, same conferences. The focus is different, some of the funding comes from different sources.
